WASHINGTON (WNS) - In an unusual and angry statement that implied criticism of Israel, President Ford declared that the United States would hot compete with leaks in diplomacy affecting a Middle East settlement. His statement read by State Department spokesman Robert Anderson referred to an article by the Jerusalem correspondent of the New York. Times which reported an Israeli offer for a second - stage agreement with the Egyptians accompanied by maps. According- to the Times, Israel has offered Egypt a land corridor to the Abu Rodeis oilfields and an Israeli withdrawal from the western part of the Gidi and Mitla passes in return for an Egyptian commitment not to use force for three or four years. Ford's statement declared that the U.S.. "will not get into the business pf competitive leaks' of con¬ fidential .. diplomatic- Zjsi-.. changes. The maps that
Syria To Get $58 Million In U.S. Aid
By Joseph Polakoff
WASHINGTON (JTA) - Congress will allow the Ford Administration to make an additional economic loan of $58 million to Syria without opposition but with ample warning that . further financial assistance will be opposed with floor action unless the plight of Syrian Jews is alleviated. With the House going into a ten - day recess on June 26, those who chose to make a fight against the second loan to the Damascus government have found they had virtually run out in their legislative time to block the Administration's action. On the first loan of $25 million granted earlier this year, Congress made no move to prevent it in view of Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger's preparation at the time for his ill - fated venture for a 2-second Egyptian - Israeli interim agreement. Congressional -supporters of a better at¬ mosphere for Syrian Jews felt pressure against Syria would he considered by the Administration as jeopar¬ dizing the Kissinger mission. The Administration's move to allow a second loan for Syria brought angry op¬ position at a* hearing in which Administration policy was " roundly, scored as detrimental to American interests since principle was being sacrificed for
pragmatic deals which, as Rep. Benjamin S. Rosenthal (D. NY) and others in¬ dicated have resulted in failure iri other parts of the world.
In addition to the op¬ position at a public hearing, 57 House members called on President Ford to take up the issue of harassment of Syrian Jews arid refusal to allow them to emigrate, with Syrian Foreign Minister Abdal Halim Khaddam
during his visit here last weekend. The President, it appears, did not refer to the issue with Khaddam in their one-hour White House meeting, but Administration sources hinted that it was mentioned in "diplomatic channels:" "Our general policy for supporting free emigration is known to the. government of Syria," a White House spokesman told the Jewish Telegraphic

Bexley Salutes Rabbi Zelizer
Rabbi Nathan Zelizer, who retired in 1974 after 43 years' service to Temple-Tifereth Israel, will be saluted July 4 as Bexley's Citizen of the Year. He and his; wife, Florence, will ride in: the morning parade in the suburb, and he will receive the annual award , that evening at 2 Bexley High school stadium. 2
The award, made by the Bexley Celebrations Association, is largely for Rabbi Zelizer's long - time and c o n t in u in g humanitarian efforts. He was a member 21 years and president four years of the Columbus Recreation Commission, covering a period of great expansion. . He was the first and 10-year president of the Senior Citizens Advisory Board, during which period the number of Golden Age

Arab Jewish Youth Meet To Share Ideas Of Peace
JERUSALEM - Mrs. Anwar el Sadat refused to talk to Mrs. Yitzhak Rabin at the Women's International Year Conference in Mexico City last, week, but in the _ heart of Israel's capital '< other. Arabs and Jews are talking, debating peace plans and even living together.
At the Louise Waterman Wise Youth Hostel in Jerusalem," built ■ and maintained by the American Jewish Congress Women's Division,- a group of 75 teenagers from two trade high schools recently ended a three-day seminar devoted to Arab - Jewish relations today and what the future may be like tomorrow.
Half of the participants were Jewish students from Hadera; half were Arab youngsters from the village of Tybe. All were citizens of Israel. And despite the widely divergent viewpoints that marked' their discussions, they left Jerusalem exchanging addresses, promising to write and planning visits.
The seminar — which also included tours of Jerusalem and dancing and singing in the Hostel's Steinberg Pavillion — revived a project initiated, several years ago by the Hostel in cooperation with the Israeli Ministry of Education, the Government Information Office and Histadrut to
foster better understanding between Jews and Arabs. In
. the immediate wake of the Yom Kippur War, the series was suspended. But the success of the recent meeting has encouraged the Hostel to set up additional meetings between young Jewish and Arab Israelis

unhappy by some leaks that appeared in Washington, often as a means of exerting. subtle pressure upon. Jerusalem. The Foreign Ministry spokesman also said the Times article contained inaccuracies and should not seem as mirroring proposals by Israel. Later White House , Press Secretory Ron Nessen said Ford is "not personally angry" with anyone over the article. '
Meanwhile. Israeli Premier Yitzhak Rabin told 150 Israel Bond Organization leaders from Europe that negotiations for a new in¬ terim agreement with Egypt are being conducted quietly "through diplomatic channels." But he stressed that if,Egypt's conditions are unacceptable Israel will say "no" as it did last March. Defense Minister Shimon Peres, addressing a Labor Party group, said it would be

NEW YORK (WNS) — Budget-cuts and the sharp declinein aliya from the United States has resulted in a reduction in the number of Israeli "schlichiiri" (representatives) in the U.S. as well as the closing .of some offices throughout the country.
